I hope competitive battling gets made easier in PBB. In its current state it’s a messy metagame. I think they should introduce features like poke pelago in generation 7 and other reliable ways to get BP. Maybe the battle frontier could help fix this.

Poke pelago was a useful extra place in the generation 7 games that allowed you to grow berries, ev train Pokémon and hatch eggs passively. This wouldn’t usually take a day or so to fully complete but I would much prefer this longer method than to grind while actively playing the game doing repetitive boring tasks.

Also hidden abilities are just simply awful to get. At least make it work like in core games where it’s possible to get them through the regular passing down of abilities. Maybe if you hatched a Pokémon at the lost islands they could have an increased chance of having its HA. Or any Pokémon caught there too.

Having an iv judge/checker would be useful. To make the advance stat viewer not completely useless make it work like in gen 7 where it tells you a general how good that stat is. Like how best means 31iv and no good could mean 10 or lower iv.

Final issue is the absurd low odds of roam Pokémon. As a matter of fact I think it’s the worst way to get legendaries. I liked having the portals and wormholes in Oras and usum respectively. Maybe you can only unlock the portals (that appear during specific conditions) after hoopa. I hope they completely scrap roam Pokémon.

I could list more changes that would make PBB much more of an appealing game but I don’t want to ramble on. If devs want the game to last after postgame they would at the very least need to attempt to recreate some features I mentioned in some form.
